I agree. Just out of interest do they still screen propecia adverts anywhere? And are the sexual sides mentioned?
Do you mean the sides or the sides
Propecia being advertised at 6.55pm on a Wednesday night during the news on possibly the nations most watched channel. No mention of any sides…not even life changing ones
I saw it being advertised a bit later on, maybe 8pm, on a payed t.v channel. My mum has also told me about seeing an ad aswell. So its being activley advertised in New Zealand.
How many dicks do merck want
As many as they can con out of the world’s male population…

Go to the thread and give the interview a listen. It’s Spencer Kobren interviewing Dr. Sara Wasserbauer who seems to be a very successful hairloss surgeon.
Very sad. The sexual side effects are only a few of the horrible things that happened to us. Lovely how they act like this is a sexual performance issue.
Here’s a discussion on hairloss sites regarding the interview.

Clearly some users in these threads have a pro-Finasteride agenda and refuse to believe the drug can cause problems for a subset of men.
Amazing to see at least a few voices of reason on the hair loss forums. Usually its about 1000 Merck shrills per 1 person with some common sense. Hopefully some of the recent press is having an impact.
I have just finished listening to the above new radio interview posted by UK20 and it just makes me even more angry. Take a listen to it yourself (below).
They SLAM Dr. Irwig’s paper, the Journal of Sexual Medicine, websites like ours and the many doctors investigating the problem, and the “myth” that Finasteride can cause persistent side effects. The Bald Truth is a nationally syndicated radio program with much influence on listeners via XM Satellite radio. As in the first radio segment of this thread, the radio host and interviewee continue to blame persistent side effects on “psychological” and “placebo” causes, and men suffering from these issues as a “fear mongering cottage industry”.

Conclusions from their above blog post:
This is Merck’s line. Trust the clinical data they put out, have the doctors trust their inadequate labeling and product inserts. Fight dissenting opinions to the death. More likely than not it’s Merck’s own coffers funding this like an infomercial.
Honestly I can’t even read or listen to those evil bastards. Makes me wanna give up hope. Undoubtedly somehow funded directly or indirectly by Merck. For certain some of these self absorbed idiots proclaiming Propecia’s safety will be the same boat we find ourselves.

We’ll see them in court.
For those who are interested - Dr. Wassenbauer, the surgeon who was interviewed by the radio show posted on the forum and admitted to having recently developed a new relationship with a Merck rep regarding Propecia. It seems like they must have paid attention to her interview and sent over an agent within days.
Dr. Crisler was aggressively posting in the thread supporting our cause, but come on quite strong and was banned by one of their administrators.
Dr Crisler doesnt like this one either!
ALLTHINGSMALE Exposes “The Bald Truth” as nothing more than a front for BigPharma
It took our very own Dr. John but 4 days of posting to smoke out “The Bald Truth” (ahem) as nothing more than a shill for Merck Pharmaceuticals, makers of Propecia.
Given the turn of events of the past few days, no doubt is left as to the true intentions of one Spencer Kobren, owner of said forum, as well as an Internet Talk Show of that same name. He is the one who directly profits from misrepresenting the negative side effects of the drug Propecia. He has gone to great lengths to protect BigPharma from information provided by legitimate medical experts expressing their professional medical opinions as to the risks of using drugs of this class.
The PFS sufferers have warned us such is the case, but we gave them every opportunity to demonstrate TRUE corporate policy. It didn’t take long for “The Bald Truth” to sell out those troubled by their hair loss.
Please pass this info along to all associated hair loss forums: “The Bald Truth” definitely DOES NOT have your best interest in mind. They instead serve BigPharma, specifically, Propecia, sales. It is a ruse we find corrupt, at best.
Please keep the above in mind while considering purchasing ANY product from the above mentioned website, as they depend upon YOUR money to continue their profitable operation. DON’T reward them for selling you out!!!
Frankly, we don’t know how Spencer can stand to look himself in the mirror, much less sleep at night, given how he has sold out the mulitude of men who have had their lives destroyed by use of that drug. Yet in spite of direct evidence offered by numerous medical experts in the field, he continues to sponsor the interests of BigPharma–against the people.
To ALL hair loss sufferers: PLEASE spread the word!
WOW.

Very nice. Dr. Irwig is a great guy. I thought he handled the interview very well.
I think this amounts to all the attention these assholes deserve for their menial radio show.
They claim 30 thousand people took Finasteride without side effects. I dont know were to begin with that statement. Doctors who are knowingly putting out false information about Finasteride should be charged with manslaughter they putting the lives of thousands of men at risk with their lies.
